My Adventure In: Learning A Few Things from Baby L

I have a beautiful new niece. My best friends had a beautiful baby girl and I am head over heels in love. . .she is perfect. The tail end of her journey was rough, and she scared us a bit...

I have learned so much from her...already...in her 6 short days. What an angel! Who'd have thought? I am blessed to have the amount of time and experiences with her that I have. So here is what I have learned:

No matter how scary something seems find your way through it because there will be rewards at the end. Beautiful, wonderful rewards.

If after a rough experience you feel the need to scream, do it. Get it out of the way and then look around and see what there is to see.

Never make your mother cry. If for some reason you have to, and there is no way around it, love her until she is done.

If you find your self stuck in a rough situation and all wrapped up in trouble, go to your parents. They will know how to help you get "untangled".

Be sweet, it endears people to you. When you need them, they will be there.

No matter who is around, burp. It's good for you.

Eat lots, especially when it's good fore you.

Eating should be an event, an enjoyable event!

Don't yell unless absolutely necessary, and if it is absolutely necessary, do it and be done.

Sleep. . .sleep lots. . .recharge fully...

And finally...

...The more your situation differs from those around you, the more likely it will be an adventure. When you run head on into the challenge, there are always people who love you there to support you.

Welcome to the world Piglet, I hope it is always as interesting and beautiful to you as it will be in the next 2 years. You are loved. . .so very very much...when things get tough, come to Aunt Amy's house and I will tell you a few stories...one in particular involving these two people...who made some rough choices...behaved like grown ups...worked together...and waited with such anticipation for a beautiful baby girl to come into their lives. I will tell you about the looks on their faces the moment she made her entrance...and I will remind you that you are the most loved baby in a very long time...
